Looks like one of my earlier efforts! :p

This was taken when the a/c passed through the hands of Bill Fisher ( F+H Aircraft )for eventual ownership by Cliff Robertson.

Not a BoB film participator this one.

MK923 still in the partial livery of the ‘Longest Day’ film – minus codes and D-Day stripes.

I think the film ‘The Train’ fits in here somewhere.

This would be a Biggin Hill some time toward the end of 1963.

Thanks Ant – I probably just thought of this one at the same second! :rolleyes:

Must be the heat in this office! 😉

BBMF’s PM631 was painted up in the markings of a D-Day Mk.XIV in the 1980’s. Go down to the Mk.XIX section on this page and you’ll find a piccy of her.

Yeah – these were the only striped XIVs I could find! 🙁

Oh, and Randall McFarlane’s aircraft:

Here’s an FR.XIV I found on www.1000aircraftphotos.com but that’s about it! 🙁
